Dr Ben Nwoye is the Enugu State Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC). In this interview with Patience Ogbodo-Iwuagwu, he speaks on the crisis rocking his party, reappearance of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), among other issues. Excerpts:
What is your take on the crisis rocking APC as a result of the just concluded Primary election?
All over the world, we have never had any election in a democratic dispensation where perfect election was conducted. Those who are aggrieved that election is perfect are usually those who win election and when people lose, they found fault either in the process or in the system or even in some cases in the electorates. If you look at the recent history of the United States which was assumed to be the best democracy, there are still aggrieved candidates. If I could recall, in United States when former President George Bush came to the office, there was a problem of whether or not Bush won the election. There was a problem, people went to court and the matter went all the way to the Supreme Court, raising the issue of constitutional crisis. At the end of the day, it was decided that they cannot keep counting, that was the case of should we keep recounting or should we stop counting? So in that particular election, we saw a judge just by a vote of 5 to 4, only one vote and George W Bush became the President of United States. It was an imperfect election but they had to move on. The same thing happened in the most recent election in United States. We had Hilary Clinton versus Donald Trump. People accused Russia, they accused social media, Facebook precisely but in the end, Trump won, Clinton and her supporters were aggrieved but they have to get together, the same thing was the case following the 2015 election, we saw open protest by the supporters of former President Goodluck Jonathan when the result was being announced by the former Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega. The whole world saw the protest on live televison so people were usually aggrieved when their candidates fail to win or when they themselves fail to win but as time passes by, the truth will begin to set in through party members and patriotic citizens. We realised that in democracy, when you throw in yourself to contest, you will be a sportsman, you cannot just continue to blame the referee or the spectators for your poor performance You will take it as it come and move on. So, I am indeed hopeful that those people that lost will take it as it has come, they will move on. By God’s grace, we will have a stronger party, a stronger candidate, we are going to win Enugu state Government house, we are going to take the three Senatorial seats; we are going to take the eight House of Representatives seat, and we are going to take majority of the State House of Assembly. APC will rule Enugu come 2019 and of course President Muhammadu Buhari will be returned.

What is your reaction over the reappearance of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, do you think that his coming back as he stated in the video will change the political atmosphere in the region?

Namadi Kanu is inconsequential; his language of speech is inconsequential, because he has no effect in political atmosphere of Nigeria. These are rabble rousers. He ran away and caused the death of innocent citizens while pursuing his self-interest in the name of seeking his own sovereign nation. He left to enjoy himself somewhere, now he is sending message that Igbo people shouldn’t participate in the election, when Igbo people are looking forward to leading the nation in 2023. They should ignore him as a statement of someone who is a dreamer, he enjoys himself but unfortunately he deceived some youths. It is the incumbent upon the elders of Igboland to inform the youths that the man is a deceit because those that have being killed cannot come back.

Let me use this opportunity to congratulate incoming president inadvance Alahji Atiku Abubakar please when you get to power dont forget to jail daura,buhari,tinubu ,igp idris, burantai,gandollar,abba kyari and that stupid man that conducted osun election

If Kanu is inconsequential, you wouldn't be talking about him.

Wwho be dis?!

 He ran away and caused the death of innocent citizens while pursuing his self-interest in the name of seeking his own sovereign nation

These people that keep blaming Nnamdi Kanu for deaths of innocent people, why don't you people ever blame those doing the shooting?

You know that the authorities are shooting and Killing innocent people but you leave those doing the shooting and Killing and blame Kanu, who has never done shooting or killing.

The people pulling the trigger are never blamed, it is Kanu who has no trigger to pull that is blamed for the deaths

And yet buhari and his brothers,including yorubas tuned in to listen to an inconsequential person.

idiot Kanu was one who did the shooting?

These people that keep blaming Nnamdi Kanu for deaths of 8nnocent people, why don't you people ever blame those doing the shooting?

You know that the authorities are shooting and Killing lnnocent people but you leave those doing the shooting and Killing and blame Kanu, who has never done shooting or killing.

The people pulling the trigger are never blamed, it is Kanu who has no trigger to pull that is blamed for the deaths

That is political stupidity and cowardice.
Most of those people that are saying such rubbish lack balls between their two to tell Buhari that shooting unarmed people is a crime against God and humanity, rather they would focus on Nnamdi kanu their nightmare.
Anyways, he's an APC member. Most of them have skulls without brains. Even those among them that have brains don't reason like normal human beings.

I thought I was the only person seeing this. How can people leave the criminals that masterminded the deaths of innocent citizens and go about blaming someone that escaped assassination. Truly some people reason through their anus.

It's their game to make Kanu to loose supporters. But unfortunately such line is not selling.
Ipob facebook followers tripled after Kanu's speech on Sunday last two weeks.

Some people reason with prejudice, some reason in line of personal interests, yet some some reason in line with their ignorance.

It is the third group that are the pawns in the grand scheme because even the Holy Book proclaims that "my people perish for lack of knowledge".

The young man, Mike Akin, at the end of his facebook video skits will always say...

"QUESTION EVERYTHING, DON'T BE SHEEP".

Why is everyone talking about Nnamdi Kanu if he is just a rabble-rouser
Why are these people desperately trying to shut him up permanently
Does it mean the usual "silence him with money" didn't work out

Kanu is a terrorist.

Inconsequential yet over 60 million Radio Biafra were downloaded.

Enter Onitsha main market, Ariaria or Obigbo in Rivers State and say that. If you remain the same, I would quit IPOB.

Osagyefo98:
Kanu is a terrorist.

Because he is the nemesis of yoruba moslems?

Plz what is nwoye?

It sounds like name of a puppy

Pls is it learning how to bark or what exactly is it doing?




Ohamadike gbururu Nnamdi Kanu

He says our President is Cloned and a Dolly Robot, doesn't this call for NASS immediate Judicial enquiry and a specific demand for his medical record?

You're confused my brother. Nnamdi Kanu is a fraud and keep deceiving people like you. Now you don't know if you are to support Nnamdi Kanu or to do your Atikulation thing. Men think.
